Ever.

See that picture? That's taken from sea level. Sea level. I was excited when I saw that the height limit was doubled in 1.2, but once I actually started playing in it.. man, it's so awesome. What's really crazy is that the peak of that mountain is just a few blocks below y200, meaning there's another 50 blocks over that of buildable space.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about the height increase! This picture was just a bit of terraforming I did for fun with worldedit to test out the height difference, but expect a lot more terraforming projects from me once I can get voxelsniper going on a private server.

..oh, and the crapload of other stuff Jeb_ added is amazing too, but nothing even comes close to how awesome this is. <3

Yeah, I'm kinda torn between the 1.3 world gen and the 1.8 world gen. In some ways I liked the 1.3 better, in other ways I liked the 1.8 better. Idk, I just terraform what I want now. :p

Can't wait to see what you do with the height max raised. I'm pretty excited myself. I've started viewing all my projects differently now and I love the freedom of having upwards of 200 blocks over my head.

Yeah I saw your archives build, it looks great. I'm not sure what I'm going to do other than terraforming, but having the freedom to do extremely tall builds makes me think a vertical city would be interesting to try..

I was thinking about adding a sky-city to my map, but the idea of such a huge build is a bit daunting. Good luck with whatever you do and as a suggestion, if you're planing on building a city I would suggest using MCEdit to get it done. Otherwise it might take a LONG time.

I'm super excited to play 1.2, but I'm waiting until the Voxel Box updates to 1.2. Until then I just have to browse PMC for awesome pictures like this.

It's not even that great of a job, worldedit doesn't even come close to voxelsniper. :p It's pretty crazy how much space there is to work with now though.
